| It's a bit disappointing, I'm sorry to say. It's just not as funny as it looks. I went to the movie with the whole family and, despite loving Road Runner, it felt repetitive and stale. Not too bad, but not great either. If you lower your expectations you may enjoy it more than we did. |

| It was a good popcorn movie. My family and I loved it and thought it was funny. The story line itself was predictable and repetitive as you said but the throwbacks, cameos, and nostalgia was very fun. |

| I personally liked it a lot (although I don't think it's "great" either), because I find it very funny to see cartoon characters in roles that are far from their canon. I've even found moving the scene where Wiley shows the value of persistence. |

| Loved it myself. Brought a friend that grew up on Looney Tunes and he had a blast. Couldn't stop laughing the whole time. It's pretty much constant jokes except for a few emotional bits that actually work, surprisingly. |

| I didn't find the original R.R. particularly funny like the other Looney characters, I was more drawn in by the cleverness or "what is going to happen next?". |

| ▲ | laddershoe 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'd love to take my kids (ages 7-11) but they didn't grow up with the cartoons. Will they still find it entertaining? | | |
| ▲ | mandevil 33 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | My kid (9yo) had seen a couple of Roadrunner cartoons on Youtube, no more than that. e.g. I don't think he's ever seen a Sylvester-Tweety cartoon, for example. It didn't matter, he enjoyed the movie a lot. Beyond the very basics of Coyote and Roadrunner, which everyone picks up very quickly- and if you don't they do a great modern version in the opening minutes to bring you up to speed- the movie doesn't need deep knowledge of the WB cartoon universe. It's not like the MCU that way. And the fact that it reinforced a message his mom and I have been trying to teach him (about the importance of not letting failure keep you from trying again) was a bonus for us. | |
| ▲ | xrd 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | My kids (9 yr old girl, 11 y/o girl, 13 y/o boy) said it was the best movie they have ever seen. They are not super familiar with Looney Tunes. It isn't uncommon that they would see something and immediately it becomes their favorite movie, but the discussions afterward were different. I loved it (52 y/o dad). I've been fascinated by it since hearing a few years ago about the tax write off situation. A bit of extra context: since seeing MacGruber, I want to see anything with Will Forte (I know that's misguided, but I can't help it). | | | |
| ▲ | hundt 4 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I took my 7- and 10-year old and they enjoyed it, especially the 10yo. We watched a couple hours of Looney Tunes compilations on YouTube the day before to introduce them to the characters. | |

| It's just might be the first negative word I've heard about it. I saw it opening weekend and it was a blast. Not groundbreaking, Roger Rabbit style, but a strangely wholesome, funny flick. |

| I thought it was reasonably good. A few moments were laugh-out-loud, a few were touching, a few surprise reveals, a few plot holes. Worth watching once, but not spectacular. But not worth watching in a theater. The big turn-off to me wasn't the movie itself. (Yeah, this is going a bit off topic.) I got in the theater ten minutes early. Eight minutes before the start time, they started showing ads for popcorn and soda. Ad after ad after ad after ad. Those ads continued until twenty five minutes after the scheduled start time. Total ads: thirty three minutes. Attached to a movie that I paid for. If theaters wonder why people don't go to movies any more, that's why. Or at least, it's a big part. |

| ▲ | mattmcal 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | If you buy tickets online from AMC, they now show a disclaimer that tells you the movie starts around 25 minutes after the listed show time, though usually it starts 30+ minutes after. | |
| ▲ | PaulHoule 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I can't complain. I live near a small city that was showing this film at a small and intimate cinema downtown and and at a multiplex at the mall. So there's competition and at the downtown cinema I showed up at the start time saw a few trailers and enjoyed the feature. | |
| ▲ | tetris11 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Yep, reasonable film to stream. Wouldn't pay theatre money to go see it | | |
| ▲ | mandevil 31 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Is it going to be streaming? On which platform? With the "HBO canceled it, wouldn't even release it to streaming" already in its history I am very unsure that it will even end up on streaming, and so decided to see it in the theater. And I hit a Sunday matinee with my 9 year-old so it was $10.75/person, which felt worth it to me. |

| ▲ | cultofmetatron 4 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | the price for movie tickets in america are insane too. I went to see the odyssey in malaysia. It was less than half the price for an equivalent experience. | |
| ▲ | ViktorRay 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | For me I actually like seeing trailers before the movies. Personally I feel like the trailers are part of the experience and I can’t help but feel some disappointment when a movie starts with no trailers in front of it. | | |
| ▲ | skeeter2020 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Trailers have been a big part of the movie-going experience as long as I've gone to theatres. Coca-cola, Ford and Government of Canada ads? Not so much. | | |
| ▲ | Hugsbox an hour ago | parent [-] | | Exactly this... when I was a kid it was all movie trailers, now they play the same fucking ads I get on youtube. |

| ▲ | qingcharles 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It's not the trailers most people are mad about, but ads for products that they stick before the trailers even. |

| I feel like all Looney Tunes movies are that: not too funny and drawn out. A complete aside: nothing wrong with that. A forgettable afternoon entertainment is also fine. And it ahouldn't be delegated to Illumination near-monopoly on it. |

| Saw it the other evening and I have to agree. The plot is — lame and inconsistent? I would recommend “who framed Roger Rabbit” over this. |
